'GAS-STOVE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No.602,041, dated April 5, 1 898.

Application filed August 27, 1895.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that 1, PETER G. VAN WIE, residing at Piqua, inthe county of Miami and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Gas-Stoves, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to gas-stoves, and has for its object to provide ina gas-stove having a closed compartment in its upper portion a tubular air-supply flue communicating at its lower end with the atmosphere through the side of the stove and projecting at its upper end into the said compartment, an annular gas-burner being secured upon the upper discharge end of the flue and having a gassupply pipe and a deflector-plate arranged centrally within the burner.

'To this end my invention consists in the bination of parts hereinafter described, and

ing the description.

The features of myinvention are more fully set forth in the description of the accompanying drawings, making a part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a central vertical section through a series of combustion-chambers of my stove. Fig. 2 is a top plan view of one of the burn: ers. Fig. 3 is a central vertical section of I Fig. 2.

E represents the air supply passage in which the burner is located. This passage communicates with the atmosphere at its lower end through the wall of the stove and thence is curved upward and terminates in the combustion-compartment. The burner F is located .in the top of this air-passage and is supplied with gas through'pipe K. The burner is preferably formed of the two sections g, united by annular joints, and the pipe K is preferably integral with one of the sections.

j represents the burner-orifices, which are shown in full line in the section h, Fig. 3. The burner may be used the other side up, in which case the'orifices are drilled in section 2'.

Z represents the 'stove lid, preferably made $erial No. 560,681. (No model.)

a M represents a deflector-plate preferably slightly below the orifices j and centrally located relative to the burner. This serves to distribute the air uniformly around the burner-ring and cause a thorough mixture of the gas and air. In practice these orifices are drilled at a slight angle, so as to direct the gas and air toward a common center and so form a cone of flame.

H represents a broiler-compartment located between the two end combustion-compartments, as shown in Fig. 1. H represents the burners for said compartment located under the perforated plate or cover R.

S represents a central offtake-fiue above the broiler. Each compartment has a flue-olftake leading to a common off-take at the rear of the stove.

I provide the joint 9 in the burner-sections h i with grooves d, so as to form an air-tight joint by the use of packing or cement applied to the .face of the joint. The burner-orifices may be drilled vertically, if desired, in which case the ring at is employed to guide the air and gas inward, as shown in dotted lines, Fig. 3.

3 represents the lugs upon which the broilergratings are supported.

compartments or combustion-chambers can be employed in one stove and the said compartments variously located .to suit the different uses, each burner being substantially the counterpart of the other, located in an air-passage and provided with an offtake-flue leading to a common ofitake. By this construction the oven, broiler, and top heatingsurfaces of an ordinary stove may be employed in a closed gas-stove, a perfect combustion maintained therein, and, in short, the advantages of the gas-stove combined with the advantages of an ordinary cooking stove or range, which is a great improvement over the previous art.
